Just to let everyone know that I will be away from tomorrow until Monday the 2nd of November. My husband and I will be taking a much-deserved (I think so, anyway) mini-holiday in the Drakensberg, to celebrate the first anniversary of us doing this:
Altogether now: “Awwwwwwwwww.”
And yes, when I get back I will be bombarding you with an excessive number of photos of pretty mountains. Just so you know 
I know you’ve all been waiting with bated breath to see more of the fantastically gorgeous engagement session we shot at Christine Meintjes’ workshop. And if you haven’t, pretend you were. This shoot was so adorable I could eat it up with a big bowl of custard. And I suppose Nicola and Wynand were a bit of help too
See Part I here.
Wynand did the cutest jump in the history of Stellenbosch:
We made him do it a bunch of times, so I got one of Nicola watching him:
And another of him jumping alone. This was the only image I could bring myself to make monochrome, by the way, because the colours in this location are too gosh darn pretty not to use.
Oh, look, he’s at it again:
The most adorable shoot ever. Thank you Christine for organising it!
Ree over at The Pioneer Woman* is holding a reader competition for textured photos. Textures are fabulously fun to play with! Sometimes a fairly ordinary photo just needs a little bit of texture and depth to make it go WOW. And sometimes it’s fun to create an old, vintage look with the texture of old paper or wood – or anything that comes to mind!
Here are a few of the ones I submitted:
*If you’ve never visited The Pioneer Woman, you’re missing out. There’s a wealth of information on there, from cooking to photography to homeschooling to, well, just general life. And the cooking. Did I mention the cooking? It’s like you died and went to recipe heaven in there.
